AI Engineer

You will not be measured on how much code you type by hand, but on whether you understand the system well enough to steer an agent through it safely — from the first spec to code in production.
In practice that means making the decisions that come before the code: architecture, data model, scope. And reviewing what comes back with the same scepticism you would apply to a colleague's work.
You are junior to mid-level in experience but solidly grounded: you understand coding, architecture, data and algorithms, even when you are not writing all the code yourself. You are curious, self-directed, and genuinely — not dutifully — interested in AI and LLMs.
What we expect
Solid grasp of architecture, data modelling and algorithms — whatever the language or stack
Active use of AI and LLMs in development (Claude Code, Copilot, Cursor or similar) — not just tried, but used to build something
Able to read and understand code quickly, including code you did not write
Comfortable without fixed frameworks: we are a small team still shaping our own processes
You live in Denmark and are based at our Virum office
Nice to have
Experience with agent frameworks, MCP or comparable agentic tooling
Familiarity with cloud and infrastructure (Azure, AWS, or EU-based and self-hosted alternatives)
Hands-on experience with Python, TypeScript or .NET
An interest in AI sovereignty and European alternatives to US big tech
Danish is an advantage, not a requirement — a few clients hold meetings in Danish
